Rock bands with their own branded booze aren’t exactly new: Iron Maiden have beer, In Flames made Gin, Motörhead rocked Vodka, and Slayer offers red wine. Now, the fiery gods of German Industrial Metal came up with Rum. It comes after their own brands of Tequila and Vodka and is everything Rammstein aren’t: soft, subtle and fruity. It’s as if Jack the Ripper released a lovely and gentle perfume.

Rammstein Rum is a balanced blend of Rums from Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad. The “Feuer Frei” concoction spent twelve years in ex-Bourbon casks and inherited an amber hue and a smoky character (fittingly so). The three quite different Rums tame and fire up each other in a harmony of powerful riffs and elegant melodies. The Savage Seven from East Berlin may sing about “Benzin und Kerozin”, but this tropical potion is welcoming and warm. Get yourself in a bikini with spikes and put on leather boots, because it’s time your herz brennted for this rumarkable Spirit.
